How many cheathas are left in the world?

As of my last update in October 2023, the global population of cheetahs is estimated to be between 7,000 and 11,000 individuals, primarily found in sub-Saharan Africa. The species faces significant threats from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching, leading to its classification as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and mitigate human-initiated risks. However, precise numbers can fluctuate, so it's advisable to check the latest reports from wildlife organizations for the most current data.
